Easter Fun

Easter week just crept up on us! Circle time was fun!

We reviewed the letter X and color Yellow today. 

We made X's out of the blocks.

The kids loved how i made yellow magically appear in the water!

We reviewed our Bumble Bee song, make sure you have your kids sing to you and practice with them!

The kids were pretty excited to start our Easter Party so we got started:
- we had a bunny hop dance contest
- we decorated eggs with crayons and food coloring ( they loved this activity)
-we made bunny ears headbands
-we had yummy snacks including the cupcakes from Jason
- we had an Easter egg hunt
- we exchanged treats with one another
and finally we read a story about a little lost bunny!

We all had a great time, I think the kids were excited to go home and show you all their great treats!

I know XXXxxx

This week at Mrs Pam's house we were busy learning about the letter X.  The children did great with circle time, they really got our routine down great! I am so proud of them.  We sure missed Kaiona and Alema. 

We played follow the X on the floor (adapted from Milis week) They all walked in a line on the letter X with music on and whoever was off the letter X when the music stopped they were out! They had alot of fun with this game.  We made X's using our arms. 

During craft time, the kids made X's using different mediums, paper, popsicle sticks, and even wrote it out great!  an wa la the created their I know X books!

We made our very own Xylophone with empty jars filled with different levels of water, i added food coloring for an added effect!  The kids thought it was magic how i changed the water color.  they each had a turn to play my homemade xylophone.

We Yummy X snacks...cheestixs, slice carrots, X cookies and X Marshmallows...

We learned a new favorite song of the kids taken from our Funbox preschool songbook..Taking home a baby bumble bee.

Overall we had Xtraordinary Day!

School this week!

School will be at Mili's house Tuesday and Thursday!

rectangles...

Circle time went well. Jason was our flag leader. Kuulei was our weather lady.  Malachi was our singing leader. Kailia helped with the shapes.  We read a few books about shapes.  The kids were so attentive as we read the book Shape by Shape.  They really enjoyed how all the different shapes created  a  large dinosaurs.  We made the letter W with our gummy worms.  

We learned about rectangles.  Everyone did a great job of stringing their rectangle.  Science time we had a science experiment with water, ice and salt.  We went ice fishing.  I explained that ice is frozen water and if we pour salt on the ice it will melt.  To demonstrate that we filled a bowl up with ice and water.  Each kid took turns with the fishing pole  and we melted the ice.  Alema was the snack helper and Kuulei was a great help with our rectangle pop tarts.    Aisa was our craft helper.   We practiced fitting different sized rectangles on our train.  After that we pretended to be toys in a rectangle toy box.  We ended our day with playing outside.  

Easter Party @ Mrs. Pam's House

We will have an Easter Party the last hour of school on Thursday.  Please send your child with 12 filled eggs for our easter egg hunt and a special Easter treat that they can give out to each of their classmates, and an Easter Basket.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

Letter V, Color Red, #4

On April 7th we learned more about the Letter V, Color Red and #4!



We went outside to dig up some dirt to plant our RED tomato seeds, which is also a VEGETABLE for the letter V. Then we went inside to watch the video/story of The Little Red Hen and talked about helping out around the house.

Then we came in to color and practice drawing the number 4. They also glued 4 little objects to their paper; feather, stickers, pompoms.

 We then went fishing for 4 little fishies. Each time they would fish and pull out a number that was not 4, they had to continue fishing. When the found the number 4, they got a little treat.

This was their favorite part of the day. We made a VOLCANO using RED food color, baking soda and vinegar. Afterwards we talked a little about Volcanoes and where they were located.

The were so amazed!

 They had sooo much fun cheering!

School this week!

School this week will be at my Kuulei's house on Tuesday and Thursday!

Thanks we will see then!

Love Pam

Spring Break Already! Wow!

I just wanted to say thank you ladies for your committment and preparedness to funbox preschool!  It sure has made a difference in Kuulei's life knowing she gets to go to preschool each week, and boy does she look forward to it!  so thank you!  FYI:
SPRING BREAK IS THIS WEEK....NO SCHOOL!
we will have school the following week at my house! 

Wuh is the sound of a W.

Monday we learned about W.  Kuulei was our flag helper.  Jason was excited to be our class weatherman.  Kailia assisted in singing time.   I had the kids trace the big and little w on a zip lock bag that had shaving cream in it.  They all said it was squishy but all participated.    We spent a short time playing in warm water.  The kids loved getting their hands wet.  Snack time was next.  After snack time we had craft time.  Malachi was our craft helper.  The kids were able to put their whales, wings, watermelon and wagons on their window.  After craft time we went on a walk in the forest and at the woods. Alema was our line leader.  I used the cd that has let's pretend activities on it for nursery.  The kids loved pretending to be trees, birds, frogs, rabbits  and more.   This seemed to keep their attention. We ended the class with watching the w letter on the leap frog letter factor dvd... wuh wuh wuh wuh what's going on with you, wuh is the sound of the W.  The boys wanted to re-watch so they could show off their moves.  It was a WONDERFUL day.

Well, I will be teaching on Monday April 4th same time.  We will be learning about rectangles.  Sorry for having to reschedule.  Hope everyone had a great conference weekend.
